I had a mental vision of this thing a couple of weeks ago. Picture a
1950's
Disney cartoon with Goofy, in this case played by a Moller investor,
flying
happily along with thr computer keeping the craft level. But wait! The
car
is approaching a downward cliff! The computer can't see the cliff, it's
hard to detect a cliff. Goofy isn't even looking. Out into free space
the
car goes. Without ground effect, the car can't maintain altitude and
"Yahahaoheychrunch" goes poor goofy. Ah the Moller ground effects
machine,
a wonderful invention.

Anyone know how to do a flash animation and put it on youtube?


Another variation would be flying over a storm drain....

I keep thinking of all the "my mower won't start, my weedeater
died,...etc threads. Just how long is the average person going to
keep 8 of those engines running simultaneiously?
